Mission San Diego was restored about 80 years ago and celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2019. The place is beautiful.

Living in California we really enjoyed visiting the Missions whenever we traveled, they taught about them in school but that has been scrapped now. Santa Barbara and San Juan Batista are my favs.

I e been to, if I remember correctly, 11 or 12 missions. I went to school at Santa Clara, home of the mission of the same name. So here’s what we’re doing: we’re spending money to preserve these treasures. We ship schoolchildren in to see them. Then, back in their classrooms, we teach them that the missionaries were genocidals monsters

Before CCP-19 I was there at least every other month

Drove by there after visiting the sheep over at Mission Ranch Hotel and wondered what the equipment was for...

The interior ceiling at the Carmel Mission and the Mission San Carlos Borromeo is unique: curved, bowed and very difficult to restore. St. Charles Borromeo was brilliant and was the lead investigator of Galileo and told Galileo that he did not prove that the earth revolves around the sun 100%. Of course, Borromeo was correct, Galileo failed to see his error, and the fact of the earth's rotation around the sun was proven 100% one hundred years after Galileo by James Bradley.
